Delicious, healthy Vegan Green Goddess Hummus!
Hey folks! A new recipe AND video today!! I’m excited to bring another video to the table because I hadn’t made one in a few months. When I first got my video-capable camera (which is separate from the one I use for photos), I went off in a video-making blur. And to be quite honest, I’m still not super thrilled with their quality. I want to make better videos, I just don’t have a lot of experience or insight in this field. But still, I’m going to keep working at it to constantly be bringing you better content! And I hope you’ll enjoy the videos in the meantime ;)
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll have seen that recently I got a new camera lens. I’ll be honest with you guys, before buying this lens I had kind of given up on myself as a serious photographer. I just couldn’t get my photos to come out how I wanted them to; they were always blurry and out of focus. But now, with this new equipment, I can say with 100% certainty that the problem was my old lens. With this new set-up, I feel more creatively rejuvenated than I have in a LONG time. I think that the new lens represents something more to me symbolically, too – it means that I take myself seriously, and invest in the equipment I need to succeed. The right attitude goes a long way, too!
Onto the recipe! This vegan green goddess hummus is representative of the type of snack I make all the time at home – something quick, nutritious, but still totally tasty. I love hummus with pita or tortilla chips, and I’ve even been known to make a dinner out of it! This particular iteration of hummus is great too because it has lots of healthy greens in it. I hope you love it!!

August 6, 2018 at 3:22 pmLove all the flavors in this hummus, Sarah! I’ve read that cilantro is an excellent detoxifier.. so I say bring on more cilantro! Good for you on video and a new lens. Indeed a good lens is important, but as with any artist… it’s the artists eye that contributes to the magic. Isn’t it a relief to have the tools to make the magic happen and how you want it? Well done! This is gorgeous!

August 8, 2018 at 9:34 pmI really resonate with what you’ve said, Traci… I feel that before my eyes were closed to the possibilities I could create in photography. And this lens has given me the tools I need to open them! :)

I also always love your photography, but I know what a huge difference a new lens can make (it’s time for me to upgrade as well, I think). Yay for you for taking that step!

August 8, 2018 at 9:35 pmAwww thank you so much Ruby! But the lens has made a huge difference for me, not only in the photos, but in my mind as well :)

August 8, 2018 at 10:48 amThis looks delicious, Sarah! Love the idea of adding fresh herbs :) I totally feel you with the lens. I recently bought a new lens and it makes such a big difference. Unfortunately, my camera broke down so I haven’t been able to use it as much as I would like. But it should be fixed soon. Your photos are looking gorgeous! <3

August 8, 2018 at 9:35 pmOh no, I’m sorry to hear that! The main reason I got this lens was when my best one broke lol. I hope your camera gets fixed soon! :)

August 8, 2018 at 2:14 pmI made this today to have with my lunch and it was delicious! I used shallot instead of onion and skipped the salt/olive oil because I prefer my hummus that way.

August 9, 2018 at 11:59 pmThanks so much Jess! It’s definitely a big step, and one that I’m not sure I’ve actually made lol. But I’m always looking to improve my videos, and I won’t stop working until they’re better!
